Chen Mumu and Xu Jingli's dance was spectacular. Most people watching from home left lots of comments and reactions in the live feed.
"What a perfect couple!"
one person wrote.
"Look at how well they match," said another.
The feed was flooded with admiration for their elegance, their synchronicity, and the undeniable chemistry that radiated between them.
The occasional missteps by Chen Mumu went unnoticed by the crowd, overshadowed by the charm and composure of the couple on the dance floor.
The camera zoomed in, capturing Xu Jingli's subtle smile as he gazed at Chen Mumu with warmth and affection.
It was a rare, almost uncharacteristic expression from someone usually so composed and reserved.
He was in love. They noticed.
He was madly and deeply in love with her!
But far away from the glittering ballroom, in a dimly lit room cloaked in shadow, another pair of eyes watched the live feed intently.
